It's a civil matter and one that would need to be resolved in a lawsuit. To win such a lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove damages, such as financial losses due to such misinformation or lies, or damage to reputation that can be solidly verified as a dollar amount (say, loss of employment due directly and provably to the published misinformation).





If the misinformation does not deal with any specifics, but only generalities (such as military officers kill innocent civilians), then it comes under the classification of opinion and is not considered libelous or slanderous.





If a search engine produces sites where a named private individual is defamed, you (or your attorney) can contact the owner of the domain and request the removal of the offending information. The domain owner is under no obligation to comply, but often a site will do so in order to avoid any litigation. Otherwise, litigation (a lawsuit) will be the only option left.If a person places false and slanderous information about a military officer and his family on the ?
actually the term is libel if it's in print, slander is verbal. Libel is grounds to file a law suit. Consult a lawyer. You may also contact Yahoo saying the information is libelous and ask them to remove it.They may request proof but it doesn't hurt to start with that.
All depends..If a civilian..Not much..Im the offender is military..Alot..
